Greater Michigan Construction Academy (GMCA) along with area businesses is launching a new program to introduce high school students to careers in construction. The program organized by GMCA runs for 10 weeks and meets Tuesdays from 3:30 – 5:30 pm at no cost to students participating. Throughout the Jump Start Program students will visit various construction companies for tours and learn how their business runs and what the skilled trades mean for their employees. They will also take part in hands-on projects at the GMCA facility constructing benches for the Origami Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center. These projects will not only benefit the program participants but the community as well
